If you haven’t figured it out by now, you’ll find that weddings are one of the best chances you’ll have in your life to show off your unique style to the world. That’s why picking the decorations carefully and with much thought is so important. This definitely includes the cake topper for your wedding cake. In the reception, the wedding cake is one of the focal points, so it’s one of the things that your guests will be paying the most attention to. You’ll have to decide if you want your wedding topper to be funny, show off interesting things about yourself and the groom, be just one component of your wedding theme, or simply be a classy finish to your cake.
One of the most common types of cake toppers today is the funny topper. These cake toppers tend to be somewhat cartoonish and can get a real laugh out of guests. Common themes are the groom trying to flee from the bride, the bride and groom running to the altar, and one of the spouses having a ball and chain around them now.
In my opinion, the best direction to go with your wedding cake topper is to find one that says something about you and the groom. Let the topper show off your personality, hobbies, or heritage. For example, if you both like fishing together, there’s a cake topper for that.
Perhaps though you want your wedding cake topper to fit in with your wedding’s theme. As themed and seasonal weddings are becoming more and more popular, there have been an explosion in the number of different toppers offered. Beach wedding toppers, autumn toppers, even Halloween toppers and toppers for Christmas all have an ample selection for you to choose from.
Finally, if you just want to have an upscale looking topper, I recommend getting a crystal figurine of your new last name. Monogrammed crystal wedding cake toppers can be a fine finish to a beautiful cake.
I went to a wedding where the wedding cake topper made the guests spill with laughter. It showed the groom falling asleep during the wedding with the bride trying hard to keep him awake. Wedding cake toppers can be really funny and you can show the world your funny side with the toppers.
Themed wedding cake toppers seem to have caught the fancy nowadays. People are getting creative with these toppers. Last winter I attended a wedding which had Christmas as the theme. The wedding cake was a real beauty with the most exquisite cake topper I had seen.
